... what happened?

[ Guess who's finally awake! And also staring and blinking at that Ninetails staring back at her. Preeeetty sure that's not her pokemon. Bell, on the other hand, is chirping happily and flying around in circles. There's a roar outside. Despite all this noise, Xion notices the seashell by her pillow and picks it up, staring.

Still, despite not knowing what happened, Xion's staring at her hands, then uses her free hand to pat her face. ]

Is this real...?

[ Smiles a little, despite. ] You still know a lot more than I do, Cecil. You've been a big help.

I'm glad I can be that much, at least. It'd be a shame not to have any knowledge to share after nearly ten months.

Almost a year, huh?

Almost. What a strange anniversary it'll be.

How so?

A year spent training young monsters and working as a shop clerk or a receptionist, with no attempts to destroy the world in the meantime. It's quite different from home.

[ Blinks. ] Your home was going to be destroyed...?

It's not the first time, but I do hope it'll be the last, at least in my lifetime.

And you saved your home each time it was threatened? That's amazing.

I certainly hope it'll be each time...

[He... hasn't quite reached the 'final boss defeated, everyone goes home' point yet, to his great worry.]

Hm? [ She wonders about his expression on that. ]

...We were almost there, but not quite, when I was brought here.

[...He thinks they were almost there, at least.]

There... in saving the world?

We were looking for the person responsible for that attempt at destruction, at the time. I suppose we'd have found and defeated them, by now.

Did others from your world tell you that?

[He shakes his head.]

They all come from decades in the past. But I still believe it.

[The only other option would be a nervous breakdown, really.]

[ Aw, Cecil. ] So... will you be okay?

Of course. I have many good friends, after all. Together, we can do anything.

That's good, then. Having people like them... It eases things.

It gives us strength, even when we are at our weakest.

Definitely that. It looks like you'll be okay.

I'll have to be. Otherwise, Kain will never let me hear the end of it.

Kain... [ His pokemon or an actual friend? ]

My best friend. He's also currently in Johto, though nearly two decades younger.

Two decades younger?
